Have bought/sold a few motorbikes - if you have cash then buying new is definately the better way to go. Decent bikes that are 1-3 years old are not much less than the new price for exactly the reason grtken said.
Be careful about buying the cheaper models - they don't last long and quite often don't last more than 2-3 years before dying - and they don't have very good resale as no-one wants them.
